This is Advanced Autonomy. I’m Luke Renner. You know, one of my favorite things about working in this space is that we are at the very, very beginning, and there are still tons of problems that autonomous vehicle researchers are still trying to solve. These problems span all areas of in-vehicle technology to wider infrastructure communication.

My guest today, Biao Ma, is the VP of Engineering and the Head of Autonomy at Cyngn. In this conversation, he’s going to give us an engineer’s insider look into the three main problems that autonomy has yet to solve: occlusion — which is seeing beyond blind spots — prediction, and the coordination of a networked vehicle fleet.
